So you know how to swim but are looking for a group to train with. We will do some drill work but mostly work on building strength and endurance to gain speed in the water.

Beginner Class Tri Swim
includes stroke analysis and evaluation with lots of drill work and technique and progresses from the very beginner start up techniques to race ready for swimming efficiency as well as triathlon skills for racing.

Strength for Triathletes
A much neglected part of the triathlete is the stretching and strength needed to keep you injury free and performing at your best all season long. This class will improve performance.
